- Location: Place the pot in a warm, sunny location. Orange trees thrive in full sunlight.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
- Patience: Germination can take several weeks. Once the seedlings emerge, thin them out, keeping only the strongest one.
- Transplant: When the seedling is large enough (usually a few inches tall), transplant it into a larger container or directly into the ground.
- Care: Continue to provide sunlight, water regularly, and consider fertilizing periodically with a balanced citrus fertilizer.
Remember, growing citrus trees from seeds may result in variations from the parent plant. For consistent fruit quality, consider obtaining grafted citrus trees from a nursery
